The 16 Best Sweaters to Cozy Up in This Winter

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

While we've only just entered a new year, we're already using the moment as an excuse to invest in some new fashion — because, really, what better way to celebrate? Sweater season is one of our favorites of the entire year, and while we're well adjusted to the colder, winter temperatures by this point, we figure that it's never too late to update our wardrobes with a few more styles that we can wear on repeat this season and well into the next, too. Fortunately, with so many cute sweaters for women that are already trending this year — with everything from sweater vests to cashmere pieces and even a half-zip sweater style or two — there's truly no better time to start shopping.

Whether we're looking for a cropped sweater to pair with high-waisted jeans or a chunky cable-knit sweater to dress up with a more relaxed pant like trousers or cargo pants, there's something about a cozy knit that's synonymous with the season — and ideal for styling with just about any outfit. In that spirit, we settled in with our favorite winter beverage and made a list of all the sweaters we wish we were actually wearing right now (but fortunately will get to wear very soon!).

So sit back, make yourself comfortable, and prepare to stock up on some seriously cozy sweaters ahead, with styles that range from a warm turtleneck sweater to trendy Zara sweaters, versatile sweater cardigans, and even a handful of sweaters from Amazon that are as chic as they are affordable. Ahead, browse our picks for the best sweaters for women to cozy up in this winter.
